Ingredients4 servings
- 12 oz salmon fillet, cubed
- 8 large eggs, whisked
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 small lemon, juiced
- 1 tsp salt, divided
- 4 slices of sourdough or whole-grain toast (optional)
- Garnish: chopped dill or parsley (optional)
Directions
1
Season the salmon with salt. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally to sear all sides, until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and drizzle with lemon juice. Set aside.
2
In the same skillet or a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the red bell pepper, and spinach. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and the spinach is wilted. Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
3
Pour the eggs into the same pan and season with a pinch of salt. Cook the eggs, stirring for 3-4 minutes, until scrambled and fully cooked.
4
Divide the scrambled eggs and salmon evenly onto 4 plates. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm along with toast if desired.
Notes:
- Cooking the eggs over low heat allows them to remain soft and creamy. Stir gently and frequently to avoid overcooking, which can make the eggs rubbery.
- You can also add 2 tbsp of milk (or non-dairy milk) for fluffier eggs.
- You may use other veggies based on the season or availability.
Bon appétit and enjoy 🥰 ☀️

I tried this recipe and it is so good you will want to eat it once a week. I used avocado oil instead of the olive oil. And rub the toast with garlic.
So happy that you enjoyed it! 😊
